4 Good Deal of II Stir Created In MIlwau-
kee over 1t.
MiLwAUkEE, August considerable
stif has been created among the members
OF the Brewers Union, formerly Gambrinus
Assembly of the X. OF L., by statements
made by some Of the cooper bosses whose
employees are involved in the coopers'
strike. The bosses passed resolutions
statiDgl that the tight barrel cooperage
business had been ruined by the strike and
that as the brewing company has been un-
able to secure a supply of kegs
in this city they were buying
elsewhere The members of the Brewers
union Immediately investigated the mat
ter, as the Union stands pledged not to
handle kegs from outside. II the state
ments were found TO be true over | 900
men would stop work. At the Schitz
brewery il was learned that firm had not
bought key outside of Milwaukee, and AT
the Best and BlatZ brewcries the same con-
dtion of things was reported. The strik-
ing coopers held a meeting this morning
but declined TO make their proceedings
public further than to state that they know
the statement of the bosses to be false, and
only made for the purpose of stirring mp
feeling against the strikers.

THE DUTY OF AN EDITOR
As Outlined by the S"rId" Under Rather
Peculiar Circumstances.

Peculiar Circumstances.
New YORK, August lS.-Thc UOrid
says:
We have received a letter from a dis
tiuguiShrd Democratic editor OF the West
submitting the following proposition:
Would it not be q good idea to hold 4
conference of anti. Cleveland Democratic
editors in New York, say some time in
September next? l will cheerlully unite
in signing a call for the same and will
agree to attend and bring others l think
such a gathering, which can easily be made
large, would be beneficial. Please let me
hear from you on this proposition ~
We must decline, so far as President
Cleveland is concerned. We would not
walk across the street to prevent his re-
nomination. II the privilege were offered
Us OF naming the next Presidential caudi-
date We should decline the responsibility.
Our idea OF the function of an editor is
that he should he entirely free and indie
pendent to cGitlcise politicians, candidates
and office holders of all parties and all
factions. lie should have nothing to do
with any set OF selfish politicians this term,
next term, or any term. And all the
Presidents are but pOiitlcians-Only a ht-
tie more selfish, more concerted, and more
uugrateiul than the rest.

Talk of the Cincinnati Dupes of Ives Pro-
curing an Indictment.
NEW YORK, August lS.-The World
says, The Ives matters have for the time
subsided and Wall street men do not
bother themselves talking about him now.
A story was published yesterday that Al
Eer Meter who bought the whole s.. coo.
900 issue OF C., II. Il d. bonds from Henry
Willard at an advance of five per cent. over
what that gentleman had paid for them,
was ~ cOllusion with Ives, and that the
transaction was merely one By which Ives
X Co. could get possession OF the bonds 10
hyl othec,te them without his name ap-
pearing. 4 reporter called at Mr.. Meter
office yesterday. Mr. Meter was not in,
and hls representative said:
Il have heard that story, and il is false.
Mr.. Meter bought these bonds, as was
stated in the Iiorii, and sold them to a
syndicate OF Cincinnati bankers and
brokers. The names OF the concerns form
Ing tins syndicate are as follows: Citizens
Na'l2nal Bank, Lafayette National Bank,
German National bank, Western German
Bank, Fourth National Bank, II. h.
MOorehcad " Co, Simon x Huseman, and
our house of Meter x Co. The banks and
firms are still owners of the bonds, except
about $500, 900 worth, which have been
sold TO Cincinnati investors Some of the
Cincinnati creditors are not satisfied with
the present state OF affairs in New York,
and the muttering5 from there may take
definite shape before long. If the Cincin-
natl creditors find they are being left out
in the cold it is not unlikely they may tell
all they know. If an indictment should
be found against Ives in Ohio an applica-
tion for eXtradition could he made to the
Governor of this State.

lence may be the outgrowth of the BLACK
Bottle railroad complications. As was
stated in the REGISTER tins morning, the
detrauded railroad laborers were induced
TO leave town Wednesday after assurances
had been given them that their
ARREARS OF PAY
would be forthcoming from the Golfers of
the railroad company, but after a night
spent in camp they came to the conclusion
that they could obtain their missing wages
by making another and more iorcible de
mand for them, and accordingly, at An
early hour this morning the Hungarians
and Italians began to drift back into town

o clock these men, TO the number OF two OF
three hundred, assembled in the Court
House square, on Main street, and be-
came
VERY DEMONSTEATIVE.
They demanded that the railroad au-
thOrities hand over their money at once.
and finally declined to be reasOne,iIwth or
put off by statements, plausible or other
wise. Mayor Purinton had made arrange
ments yesterday for posSibe.trouble, ami
hastily swearing in force OF thirty reliable
citizens, he proceeded with them to the
headquarters of the University cadets, on
the University grounds, and
ARMED THEM
with the Cadet Springfield rifles. The
Mayor then marched his men to the Court
House square, when the sight OF the gun
barrels had weakening effect upon the
mob, and they dispersed
This evening the excitement is intense,
and serious trouble is feared. The Hun
garians have openly threatened the lives
OF the officials and 10 pluhder the town,
and they are in the humor to keep their
word if they get chance.
